Passage to Madina

The First Written Constitution Of Human History,  An excerpt from the book "Constitutional Analysis of the Constitution of Madina" written by Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

It is an undisputed fact that Allah keeps the bodies of the Prophets (عليهم السلام) immune and intact in their graves. This is symbolically a benignity of Allah to preserve the Prophets’ bodies so as to elevate the station of their personages. Shaddad bin Aws (رضي الله عنه) reported that Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said: The most excellent day is the day of Jumu‘ah (Friday).

Although angels are commissioned by Almighty Allah to convey the blessings on the Noble Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), salam is directly received by the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم).

Different traditions reveal that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) himself directly listens to those who invoke blessings on him irrespective of their nearness and remoteness. As Abū Darda’ narrated Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said: Invoke blessings on me abundantly on Friday.

It is absolutely clear that the Noble Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) also answers the one who invokes blessings (salam) on him. Which other reward could be worthier than this for a faithful?

Both the life and demise of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) are beneficial and advantageous for the Muslim Ummah. The Prophet’s benignity is highly gainful for the Ummah because he (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) seeks forgiveness from Allah for us.
